It is recommended that you refrain from using a straw for at least ten days to two weeks following extractions. The reason is that anything that can cause suction pressure in the mouth can cause the blood clot in the socket to be lost prematurely. This can lead to a very painful condition known as a dry socket.

Why does a soft drink rises when sucked with a straw?

As you suck on the straw air is removed from the inside of the straw and the air pressure within the straw is reduced. Once the straw's air pressure is reduced past atmospheric pressure of about 760 mmHg, the Patm forces the drink up the straw and into the sucker's mouth. Gases move from high to low pressure areas until equilibrium is reached.
